Thus, to specify a tally, we need to specify what regions of phase space should
be included when deciding whether to score an event as well as what the scoring
function (:math:`f` in the above equation) should be used. The regions of phase
space are called *filters* and the scoring functions are simply called *scores*.
space are generally called *filters* and the scoring functions are simply
called *scores*.
The only cases when filters do not correspond directly with the regions of
phase space are when expansion functions are applied in the integrand, such as
for Legendre expansions of the scattering kernel.

To specify the scoring functions, a list of strings needs to be given to the
:attr:`Tally.scores` attribute. You can score the flux ('flux'), a reaction rate
('total', 'fission', etc.), or even scattering moments (e.g., 'scatter-P3'). For
example, to tally the elastic scattering rate and the fission neutron
production, you'd assign::
